Hardwell Tops DJ Mag Top 100 For The 2nd Year In A Row

EDM.com Staff

For the second consecutive year, Hardwell has been named the #1 DJ in the world according to DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs list. Despite rumors that Martin Garrix would be the winner, Hardwell's extensive marketing campaign helped him repeat as the popularity contest's winner. The results ended up being very similar to the leak that we reported on.

Deorro and DVBBS are the highest newcomers at #19 and #20 respectively. Deorro is set to quit DJing at the end of 2014 in order to focus on producing, so it's interesting to see him debut at #19. Ummet Ozcan is the highest riser since 2013, moving up 68 spots to #31. Chuckie fell the most, going from #43 last year to unranked this year.
